Sacramento, CA- Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist Renée C. Byer will show her exhibit "Living On A Dollar A Day: The Lives and Faces of the World's Poor" at the Cosumnes River College (CRC) Art Gallery, April 21 through May 18.
"Living On A Dollar A Day: The Lives and Faces of the World's Poor," is a powerful and extraordinary series of photographs and profiles by Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist Renée C. Byer, whose work illuminates the human faces of people who live in extreme poverty around the world. Traveling to 10 countries on four continents, Byer sought out individuals and families on the brink of survival – living on about one U.S. dollar each day. The people in Byer's compelling profiles share their hardships, their joys, and their dreams for the future with her. Often with little hope of changing their own destiny, they dream of something better for their children. In her searing and tender images, accompanied by stories shared by people whose trust she gained, Byer gives voice to those who would otherwise not be heard.
As a Senior Photojournalist at The Sacramento Bee Renée C. Byer is best known for her in-depth work focusing on the disadvantaged. Her ability to produce photographs with profound emotional resonance and sensitivity earned her the Pulitzer Prize for feature photography in 2007 and dozens of national and international honors, including the World Understanding Award from Pictures of the Year International, and Pulitzer Finalist in 2013. Her multimedia work garnered her an Emmy nomination for field producing and photography. Her images have been published in media outlets worldwide including Paris Match, TIME, Newsweek and National Geographic.
Byer's internationally acclaimed book for photography, Living on a Dollar a Day: The Lives and Faces of the World's Poor, illuminates the stories of people living on the brink of survival, and invites you to put an end to extreme poverty. It is a personal project that she is grateful the Sacramento Bee granted her a leave of absence to produce and have supported. David Griffin, the former director of photography for National Geographic magazine, designed the book.
An inspiring teacher and speaker, Byer stirs audiences to see how unbiased photojournalism can raise awareness and affect change. The photographs in her exhibition and book have been featured in countless news outlets throughout the world including CBS Sunday Morning and she recently highlighted the issue of extreme poverty during her third TEDx talk in Sonoma, Calif.
This touring exhibit is part of worldwide movement. It is a goal that Renée C. Byer, Founder of the non-profit, Positive Change Can Happen (PCCH) hopes to connect to with each community and each individual that experiences it. That goal is to eradicate extreme poverty by 2030 as set forth by UNSECO at the 2015 Paris Summit Peace Talks. A world goal with far reaching consequence and one which everyone may support. Educating our children to be the voices of tomorrow is our future, we know this, but how do we really connect? This exhibit works to establish that interface through images and storytelling, to pull the viewer in and share a very personal experience that affects us all, both abroad, as well as at home. The exhibit Living On a Dollar a Day was created to generate understanding, empathy and the ability to act in a positive way to end extreme poverty.
Through her collaboration with A Fourth Act, Renée aims to reinvent how we experience photo exhibitions by bridging the power of stories that build awareness and turn compassion and empathy into social action. By using an innovative mobile web app, youbridge.it, along with Renée's photos, the interactive photo exhibit can engage visitors to participate in an interactive and powerful experience that goes beyond raising awareness. As they walk through the gallery, youbridge.it offers the photo exhibit visitors an opportunity to dive deeper into the issues behind the stories and makes tangible actions available at their fingertips. Byer's photos are an emotional invitation to learn about the roots causes of extreme poverty and hunger, and to take simple but concrete actions in 10 areas of social issues. A strong believer that positive change can happen; she encourages us to be part of it by shifting the language from problem-focused to a solution-oriented one.
The exhibition also includes an educational documentary film of same name that chronicles Byer as she narrates and travels the world in the making of the book. The book and documentary were both supported by The Forgotten International, a non-profit in San Francisco that works to bring together people in the world who have great resources with people who have great needs. The founder Tom Nazario authored the book and directed the film.

|We're number one !!!
The Thursday night NFL product, for the most part, is garbage. Two NFL teams, who just 4 days ago subjected themselves to the every play violence that is the National Football League, are back at it again. And it usually is an ugly, low scoring affair. This year's contests thus far (excluding opening night, whose teams had the benefit of more than 3 days rest) have produced 3 unders to 0 overs.
Cleveland seems to not have missed a beat since trading away Trent Richardson. An impressive road win at Minnesota, and then last weekend's beat down of what's supposed to be a descent Bungals team. Third string QB Brian Hoyer (whose middle name is Axel) has the hot hand right now. Almost 600 yards passing and 5 TDs over his last two starts. And don't sleep on Cleveland's young, talented defense. 3rd overall in the league, and they will present major problems for an inconsistent, non 60 minute playing Bills team.
The Bills are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games, but they're 1-4 ATS in their last 5 roadies. Bills have played 4 straight games decided by one score or less, but that trend ends this week. As will the trend in which the Thursday night road team has covered three straight. 23-13 Browns.
The rest of Yack's Week 5 card will be released by Saturday.

The most peaceful people I know are those who are able to live with paradox and remain open to the whispers of God that may be heard in very unexpected places. Understanding the limits of logic opens up new possibilities and the chance to recapture and reinterpret some of the stories, images and practices of our own spirituality that we may have found problematic in the past. A new appreciation for the mystery and majesty of God are paired with a greater passion for bringing justice and compassion for those around us. "Loving God and loving your neighbor" take on a new meaning and depth that often moves beyond any theological system.

Feyre's survival rests upon her ability to hunt and kill – the forest where she lives is a cold, bleak place in the long winter months. So when she spots a deer in the forest being pursued by a wolf, she cannot resist fighting it for the flesh. But to do so, she must kill the predator and killing something so precious comes at a price.
Dragged to a magical kingdom for the murder of a faerie, Feyre discovers that her captor, his face obscured by a jewelled mask, is hiding far more than his piercing green eyes would suggest. Feyre's presence at the court is closely guarded, and as she begins to learn why, her feelings for him turn from hostility to passion and the faerie lands become an even more dangerous place. Feyre must fight to break an ancient curse, or she will lose him forever.
This book was everything I've been waiting for from Sarah J. Maas. I'm a fan of the Throne of Glass series, but this made me light-headed, blurt 'you have to read this' to everyone I know, and deliciously excited for the sequel. And that's only a small glimpse of what A Court of Thorns and Roses has done to me. I loved it. Hands down, the BEST new adult book I've ever read and my favourite of Maas' work (to date—I fully expect to be blown away by the next two books in this trilogy).
It's pitched true as Beauty and the Beast meets East of the Sun, West of the Moon. The first part of the book is beautiful and dreamlike – the next half is gritty and soul-wrenching. Both are equally great. On top of it, the world Maas has created is rich and seeped in history – an island with 7 fae kingdoms, separated from human lands in the south—all part of a wider world I imagine will come into play in the sequels.
As much as I like to go on about world-building and plot, what really makes me fall in love with a book is its characters. I love when an author crafts a character so great that I yearn for them to be real.
Feyre was incredible right from the start. When her family lost its fortune, she promised on her mother's deathbed to take care of her limping father and older sisters. One day, she kills a wolf who was threatening her hunt, not realising (or caring) that it was a shape-shifted faerie and she inadvertently breaks the Treaty between the human and faerie realms. As payment (or punishment), a faerie beast offers her a choice: she can either die on the spot, or live out the rest of her life in the faerie realm. She's brave, stubborn, dutiful, with a strong survival instinct. She will beat you up in a fight, make no bones about it. What she goes through in this book is truly remarkable.
It also promised to light my loins aflame, and it indeed it did with not one, not two, but three steaming hot faerie men (yes, three is the new minimum for male leads, ladies and gentlemen. See also: the Grisha trilogy by Leigh Bardugo).
Tamlin, the 'beast', is initially icy and gruff mannered, but he ended up melting my heart. He's got the weight of the world on his shoulders and rarely opens up, so it was such a delight to see him try to awkwardly date an unimpressed Feyre. He's also pretty vicious in that beast form and I love his sense of protection and sacrifice. His court and his people always come first, no matter the cost to him personally.
His friend and close confidant Lucien is sharp and witty; a courtier at heart. I would've been happy with a whole book of him and Tamlin exchanging witty banter for the rest of their very long lives. However, once you get past the prickly jests, he's beautifully broken. He's been deformed, outcast from his court and hated by all his brothers. His loyalty to Tamlin, and later Feyre, is unwavering and I love him for it.
Then, step aside Darkling—if you're looking for someone with ambiguous morals and a magnetic pull, you're going to love Rhys. I loved never being sure whose side he was on – the only thing I knew for certain was that he acts out of his own best interest. He's seductive, cruel to be kind and so, so interesting. The deal he makes with Feyre should be quite the story in the sequels.
I've rambled enough, but basically, this is my favourite read of the year so far. Nothing left to say except for, well done Sarah. Just when I thought I couldn't be surprised or impressed, you've managed both. I'm stunned and grateful for it.
Why you should read this book:
- Feyre. I admire so much her strength of character.
- Have I mentioned the three hot faerie men?
- Loins. Flaming. So. Hot.
Other things:
- I can't seem to pick a favourite fae. Just when I think I have, I remember how awesome another one is.
- Feyre can't read, which was really interesting and refreshing.
- I want to go to a masquerade ball please!

FRANK COTTRELL BOYCE has had an exceptionally good year. Not only was his sequel to Ian Fleming's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang published, he also gained an honorary degree from the University of Liverpool, won the Guardian's Children's Fiction Prize for The Unforgotten Coat – and of course, not forgetting his most recent collaboration with acclaimed film director Danny Boyle, he wrote the script for the 2012 Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony.
Last year's ceremony has been hailed as the greatest ever, costing an estimated £27m and watched by a worldwide audience of 900m; Frank Cottrell Boyce has strengthened Crosby's strong artistic links. One of the UK's finest and best-loved writers, who has written scripts for top soap Coronation Street, he honoured his home town most recently when he switched on the Christmas lights.
On November 30, Frank, who lives in Blundellsands, switched on the lights in Crosby Village to the delight of an excited crowd. Event organiser Peter Harvey, of ABetterCrosby community group, said: "Frank's wonderful ideas lit up the Olympic Games, giving us something to remember for many years, so we're very grateful to him for agreeing to light up Crosby, too."
CROSBY'S finest gymnast, DAN PURVIS, had locals beaming with pride last year as he took a bronze medal at the London Olympics. A breath-taking display from the 21-year-old in his final event – the floor – led Team GB to their first Olympic medal in the men's team event since Stockholm in 1912. Purvis, who trains at Southport YMCA, has now helped to inspire a new generation of children with his performance at the London Olympics and showing how hard work and commitment can help you to achieve your goals.
SURANNA GLEESON is the five-year-old girl who has captured the hearts of Crosby with her bravery and courage. Suranna suffers from cerebral palsy diplegia, which is a type of CP that delays muscle growth in the legs, resulting in severe walking difficulties. But, along with her determination and Crosby's cutest smile, Suranna has helped her parents achieve their fundraising goal of £50,000 this year so that she can have Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) in America, which is a medical procedure that has a 100% success rate. Good luck to brave Suranna.
GEORGE DAVIS, or the King of the High street, as he is more commonly known, is from Thornton and over his retailing years has been responsible for over £54bn-worth of clothing sales. Next, Asda and Marks and Spencer are just some of the well-known brands Davis has worked with throughout his career, and last year he was given an honorary degree from Edge Hill University. Davis is an avid supporter of several charities and encapsulates Crosby's strong work ethic and willingness to give back to the community.
JEAN KERRIGAN, MBE has worked tirelessly to improve the lives of others for more than 50 years. Miss Kerrigan was honoured with her outstanding level of commitment to the voluntary service by Sefton CVS earlier last year with the Sefton CVS Community Award. Miss Kerrigan, who volunteers for Age Concern Crosby, was presented with the award for her "outstanding and selfless service to the voluntary sector and the wider community in the borough". Miss Kerrigan's continuing commitment to others shows the strength of the people of Crosby.
PETER HARVEY, former editor of The Crosby Herald, has committed himself to helping Crosby become what the people who live there envision for its future, rather than some of the inappropriate development proposals that saw the birth of ABetterCrosby. Peter, a founding member, has been active all last year in voicing the opinions of the people of Crosby, including making official responses to the council and meeting regularly throughout the year to discuss Crosby's future.
JAMES CORBETT, from Great Crosby, saw years of hard work come together last year as he published the 350,000-word Everton Encyclopaedia, which has over 450 full biographical entries from James' new and original research. The book is a progression from his earlier 2003 work, Everton: The School of Science and now makes him the world's unofficial expert on the Everton football club. He also published Neville Southall: The Binman Chronicles with Southall himself. Corbett is a trained journalist and has published five impressive books since 2003.
ERNIE KENWRIGHT is 93 and was featured in the Herald earlier last year when he joined the Queen and Prince Charles to unveil a major public memorial to commemorate the loss of more than 50,000 young Bomber Command airmen in World War II. The Crosby war veteran was rear gunner during the war and completed 82 operations. He wears, in addition to his medals, a Pathfinder Insignia from his service in the 35 Squadron. Mr Kenwright's bravery and valour is a reminder of what our Army services have done and are still doing for our country.
PAT MURPHY is the director of fundraising at Jospice and works hard all year round promoting and raising funds for her charity. Last year, Pat has helped to organise, to name but a few, the Jospice Starlight Walk, the Golden Jubilee Concert and most recently the Jospice lights switch-on. Jospice opened in Crosby in 1974 and aims to provide love and compassionate care to terminally ill people who are in the last weeks of their lives. Although Pat is clearly one of Crosby's outstanding individuals, it is through her we know of the hard work done by all Jospice volunteers.
HELEN SHEEHAN, a gifted pupil at St Mary's College, Crosby, has not only made her parents and her school proud, but the whole of Crosby, when she was highly commended in the NSEC Senior Science and Maths Award at the Big Bang Fair earlier last year and was also recognised as one of the UK's top young scientists. Through Helen's hard work, she was also able to secure herself a place on the EU contest for young scientists, which is funded by the Nuffield Foundation, and will represent all the hard-working students in all schools across Crosby. Last year, talented Helen also got a chance to perform Telemann's Double Flute Duet in A Minor at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall, as part of the College's 15th Festival of Music.
Do you agree with our list - who gets your vote for Crosby's Person of the Year 2012?

Brands tend to come and go throughout the years, but the best brands tend to last for a long time. The cosmetic industry is no different as this industry is currently on product overload. There are literally thousands of cosmetic products that come from the hundreds of brands. Finding a great product could be potentially frustrating, especially if you took a look at the cosmetic isles of most stores. Have you ever heard of Lime Crime? If you haven't heard then you must know that this brand is changing the game thanks to its brilliant products.
Lime Crime is definitely one of the top contenders on the market now days, and it has steadily been climbing the ranks over the past few years. These cosmetic products will blow your mind away after viewing. Some of the most brilliant and vivid hues are present here. The liquid matte finish of the Velvetine lipsticks look amazing. These innovative lipsticks are highly durable, touch-proof, water-proof, and they're utterly addictive. Doe Deere has done a fantastic job of turning her dream into a reality. Deere started the brand as a small Ebay business, but since the market was already full, she had to go back to the drawing board. By implementing her own style into the product, this brand's image soared. In 2008, Deere officially launched the product line to the masses and history was made. One of its hottest product in known as Scandal, and Scandal has lived up to its very name. This lipstick comes in an ultra deep purple hue. It oozes sex appeal, and it captures the attention. Scandal gives you that edge, and it's perfect for the "punk rocker" type of people.
LimeCrime has shut the industry down, but in a good way. It's leading by example while causing an emotional stir. The vision of the brand is living up to its own hype and that's a guaranteed fact.

Ultimate Slim Pure Select is the hot new weight loss product to hit the market. It's already got a fan following with many satisfied customers and a growing revenue stream. It's refreshing to see a genuine product in an industry that is often stuffed with con-artists and victims.
Don't be a victim, read some of the testimonials from people who have tried Ultimate Slim Pure Select for themselves.
Myrl Coppola, 45 Says
"I have spent a lot of money several different weight loss products over the last few years just to have very little to no results at all. I figured that I would give in just one more time and boy I am really glad that I did. Ultimate Slim Pure Select is amazing."
Frederica Melgarejo, 32 Says
"I have been taking Ultimate Slim Pure Select for about a month now and have lost a total of 12 lbs. I have done nothing else but add this product into my daily routine. I have not changed my diet or workout habits at all. I have about another 30-35 lbs that I would like to lose and at this rate I totally expect to be there well before the end of the year."
Sabrina Moncayo, 25 Says
"The reason that I chose this product over other products is because it has HCA when compared to most and from what I have read, it is the HCA that gives the big weight loss results. I am so happy that I found this. My self-esteem has already skyrocketed and things are only going to get better."
Mellisa Yamashita, 27 Says
"I have not tried Ultimate Slim Pure Select before. I heard all the hype about it. Thought I would give it a try. I have just started using it so I cannot report on any major weight loss… yet. I will have to keep you posted. However, I do find that I am not hungry. I take it about 30 to 60 minutes before I think I am going to eat lunch and dinner. By the time food comes, I am not that hungry and find it very easy to stay on a good eating plan. I know it is also supposed to block fat and that is why you lose the pounds. So far this has been a win win for me. I LOVE that it is all natural and no added extra junk in it."
Yer Masone, 35 Says
"I have had no problems with taking the Ultimate Slim Pure Select,
and I've lost three pounds in about a week.
Still eating same (good quality food – not much garbage)
as before, and actually less active during the past
week due to scheduling issues.
So, I'd call that a win."
Reginald Kosak, 47 Says
"I started taking a different weight loss product a while back. The 1st week I took it, I lost 5 lbs and felt great. Unfortunately, after that 5 lbs my weight just fluctuated (and I still have about 20 lbs I NEED to lose). I continued to take the product because of how I felt and the energy that it gave me, but then ran across an article that talked about HCA that made me do a label check of the product I had been taking.
HCA (Hydroxycitric Acid) is the primary active compound found in Garcinia Cambogia which studies have shown contributes to weight loss, suppressed appetite and improved overall well-being. In a recent study published in the Current Therapeutic Research® journal, scientists used Weight Loss Supplements with HCA to study its weight loss effects.
So I have been taking this for a little over a week now and I am consistently losing a pound every 2 days. At this rate I ought to hit my goal weight pretty quick. Needless to say I am ecstatic!"

Hey all! I've been seeing lots of posts on my PKU groups on Facebook asking about PEG-PAL, so I decided to write a post about my experiences with this PKU wonder-drug. If ever there was a time to have PKU….IT'S NOW. This drug is a REVOLUTION! Here we go:
The Drug
PEG-PAL is, in a nut-shell, an injectable enzyme that replaces the one that's deficient in people with PKU. Though it's not the exact same enzyme we're missing, it's similar. PKU people are lacking phenylalanine hydroxylase, an enzyme that converts phenylalanine to tyrosine. Without this enzyme, phenylalanine we acquire from our diet is not broken down by the body, and builds up in our bloodstream and brain, causing brain damage. Also, since phe isn't converted to tyrosine by PKU people, tyrosine becomes an "essential" amino acid in us, meaning tyrosine is something we have to acquire via our diet since it is not made by our bodies. PEG-PAL on the other hand is a phenylalanine ammonia lyase. Fancy words saying it breaks down phenylalanine, but to different harmless components (not tyrosine). The PEG in PEG-PAL stands for pegylated. Pegylating something means coating it in a substance called Poly Ethylene Glycol (PEG), which basically masks the substance from the host's immune system, preventing an immune/allergic response, and helping the substance last longer. For those of you who are familiar with the Depo-Provera birth control shot you can get every three months, it is also pegylated.
I'm 25 and currently live in Omaha, Nebraska where the only PKU (metabolic) clinic in the state is located. Even more convenient, I'm a third year medical student at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. I'll be a doctor in a year, yay! So it's fair to say I'm at the hospital fairly frequently. I tried Kuvan, another FDA-approved Biomarin drug for PKU, and unfortunately didn't respond. Since then, I've been bugging my doc about this PEG-PAL thing and involving Nebraska in one of Biomarin's (the PEG-PAL creators) clinical trials. Hallelujah they listened! Last winter I was notified UNMC's proposal to become a study site for the PEG-PAL trials. Side note… props to my physician for making this happen. There's an unbelievably complex time-consuming, tree-killing, paper-dense process sites must go through to become "approved" for such a study. The man-power and time it takes to make this happen is crazy…but that's a whole separate story.
Initial Trial
I was recruited to be one of two initial study participants at the Nebraska site. The first "visit" consisted of signing about 20 pages of consent forms basically stating what the trial was about, the risks involved, and if I consented to things like blood sample donation and skin biopsies if I had a reaction to the drug.
Next, I went through a battery of tests. Probably 10 tubes of blood were drawn initially to check base phe levels, kidney function, electrolytes, etc. If you're not a fan of blood draws, like I was, you'll quickly get used to them while in this trial. I also had a physical exam done, chest X-ray, and EKG to look at my heart function. All were normal, so I started the trial.
The first few months consisted of me coming in to clinic and receiving a low-dose injection of PEGPAL given to me in the fat layer of my arm by a nurse. Then I sat….for 30 boring minutes…to monitor for any reactions I might have to the drug. They slowly increased the dose of PEG-PAL I was receiving over the weeks, and the frequency I'd get the injections. I finally found a dose that kept my phe levels in a "goal-range" (less than 6 I think). By that time, I was trained to give myself the injections and was allowed to take the drug home, where I'd give myself the shot once a day, five days per week. I also kept strict diet journals to turn in before my weekly blood draws.
Since then, I've been through a few more subcategories of the trial where my injection schedules or doses have changed, each time having to go through the million blood tubes (or so it seems), physical, X-ray, and EKG. I've slowly liberalized my diet over the last year and now it's largely a "normal person diet!" I'm including starches, dairy (cheese, milk, yogurt), and MEAT (chicken, beef, seafood, etc) and my phe levels continue to be UNDETECTABLE! I feel the best I've felt since my mom was controlling everything that went in my mouth at age 2.
Here's some pics of tonight's injection so you can see how the process works. Although a daily shot with – shudder – needle may sound a bit scary, it's a small price to pay for perfect phe levels! The shot itself barely hurts. It goes into the subcutaneous (fat) layer just below your skin, and uses a small, short 25 gauge needle. Easy as pie after a couple practice sessions!
Side Effects
I've been very fortunate when it comes to side effects for PEG-PAL. I initially had none, then began getting occasional hives on both of my upper arms. The were itchy and warm to the touch, but subsided after an hour. I now take a Claritin or Allegra (non-drowsy antihistamine) everyday to prevent the hives and have no problems with them! This is the most common side effect and usually subsides after a few months on its own or with an anti-histamine. Other things I noticed: the lymph nodes in my groin area seemed a bit swollen after I started the injections. Makes sense. You're injecting a protein with a protective coating your body isn't used to seeing, so my lymph nodes (part of immune system) got a bit bigger after introducing PEGPAL. I also get headaches occasionally, but so does everyone else right? Who knows if this is related to PEG-PAL or if it's just me.
The other more serious side effects I've heard of other trial members having are worse, more extensive rashes than mine, rigors (or shakes), and one person with syncope (fainting spells). These are RARE and you're monitored closely throughout the trial with blood tests and checkups to make sure your body is tolerating the drug well. You're also given an Epi-Pen should you have a serious allergic reaction call anaphylaxis, which can affect your airway. I haven't heard of any PEGPAL users having an anaphylactic reaction.
From what I've read, it sounds like you can predict how you'll react to PEG-PAL by looking at how your immune system acts normally. People who have an overactive immune system, or who are "atopic," are more likely to have more reactions than those with less active immune systems. An atopic person is usually someone with severe allergies (seasonal, food, etc.), eczema, and/or asthma. I myself am fairly atopic as I have some pretty significant seasonal allergies. Despite my happy-go-lucky immune system, my side effects are virtually non-existent with my daily anti-histamine.
The End
I guess my goal for this post was just informing anyone who wants to know more about PEG-PAL what it is and how it works. Hope this was helpful! Please feel free to contact me via comments on this post or on Facebook with any comments or questions you have! I love to hear from people, especially about anything PKU! 🙂

This 11-year-old boy has a pet, but it's not your typical dog or cat.
Chomran is a massive 18-foot-long, 250-pound python that the the boy, Sambath, has had ever since he was 3-months-old! At the time, the python was just a baby as well, measuring in at just under a foot long. The parents would take the snake into the garden, but Chomran would always make its way back inside the home, and back to the boy. Eventually, they decided to keep it as a pet. The snake and the boy have developed an incredible relationship with one another over the past 11 years. The boy rolls on top the snake, kisses it, bathes it, and spends every moment of his free time playing with his beloved buddy.
Check out this amazing video to see just how close their friendship is and how comfortable the boy has become around this massive python!

Fandoms and Fun! Comic and Anime Conventions
By Juliette Puplava
Every year, thousands of people attend anime and comic conventions to express themselves and become characters from their favorite series. Arizona has six of these conventions. Each conventions is different, but all include dances, masquerades, panels, a vendor's hall, and cosplays. This article will cover the basics of what to expect as well as what people enjoy most from the conventions.
One important thing to know is that anime and comic conventions generally happen at hotels or convention centers. These conventions can vary in sizes of 3,000 to 130,000 people. San Diego Comic Con, the biggest convention, has hosted about 130,000 people at once.
Most people who attend are in cosplay, another name for costume play. Cosplay is dressing up as a character from a comic, a book, a manga (Japanese comic), television series, or even a movie. Many people buy their costumes. However, since there are costume competitions that require homemade attire, one of the most exciting and creative parts of the convention is creating a costume after your favorite character.
People who choose to make their costumes may enter in the Masquerade to win money or prizes. Masquerades are generally hosted on the second or third night of the convention in the biggest room. The room has a stage and table for judges. Everyone else sits in the audience and watches the performance, which can consist of a Walk-On or a Skit. A Walk-On is generally where cosplayers have music and pose so everyone can see their craftsmanship. A Skit generally consists of something where people do voice overs.
The rules of competing may differ from convention to convention, but usually to compete in the masquerade you need to make eighty five to ninety five percent of your costume. Then, you are judged on performance and creativity. This is probably one the most exciting parts of a convention because you get to see people who are so passionate about a character that they try to bring them to life.
To help breathe life into a character, you might want sit down at a convention's panel on how to act like your character. However, conventions aren't completely about cosplaying. Many people go to conventions to attend panels that they are interested in. These might include an ask panel where people become the characters and you ask the character questions, a food panel where you learn about the food of japan, or even a panel where celebrities talk about their roles.
Celebrities can also be found in the vendors' hall. The hall consists of people who sell figmas (figurines), toys, fashion, and accessories. Next to or mixed into the hall is the artists' alley. This is where artists may sell their work and cosplayers may sell prints or costumes.
Around five in the evening, the day starts to settle down, and most people will go to get dinner and change into their dance outfits. The dances at conventions are sometimes themed, but generally they are casual. At this Labor Day weekend's convention, a cosplayer who has been in the community for nine years commented on the conventions and their culture.
She said, "My favorite part of conventions is attending the panels, and just by walking the halls you get [to] meet and see so many different people, and my favorite part of the culture is that we are all very accepting of others."

The Real Historical Figures Behind the Movie 'Selma'
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King was probably
Introduced from Hawaii it was an icon of the jazz age. So sexy it got banned, it was once even accused of murder – here are some iconic ukulele moments:
#1 All things Hawaiian were the craze of the 1920's. In 1924 the Prince of Wales learned to play the ukulele after a surfing trip to Hawaii.
#2 On the invention of the "talkies" the sound men at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer reported that the ukulele recorded far clearer than other instruments. Roy Smeck played the ukulele in one of the first ever sound films "Don Juan", while Clara Bow the original 'It' girl starred alongside her ukulele in the 1927 film 'Hula' while wearing a grass skirt and Lei.
#3 The ukulele even rescued the careers of some older, silent stars. The press reported that Bessie Love a former silent star took a long course of singing, dancing and ukulele lessons and returned to MGM. They were in a panic as they were casting their first musical. She was given the lead in 'Broadway Melody' and became a star again.
#4 The world loved it. Catalogues and correspondence courses sprang up such the one created by the 'Ukulele Lady' whose real name was May Singhi Breen. The star of 'Honolulu' Gracie Allen offered her technique "scratch your tummy for a while and then put a ukulele there!" Stan Laurel taught himself – here he is in a classic Laurel & Hardy moment, singing 'Honolulu Baby', as Olly plays:
#5 Some hated it. Author PG Wodehouse called it 'a hideous musical instrument that made an infernal din.'
#6 In the 1930s George Formby fell foul of the 'dance music policy committee' for his innuendo ridden songs. The most objected to was 'With My Little Ukulele In My Hand,2 which went: "With my little ukulele in my hand/of course the people don't understand/Your love just turns me dizzy, come along big boy get busy/But I kept my ukulele in my hand."
#7 In Agatha Christie's murder mystery 'The Bird With The Broken Wing' the method of Mabelle Annesley's murder is detected when a missing ukulele string reveals she had been strangled.
#8 Perhaps the sexiest ukulele player of all is Marilyn Monroe. In 'Some Like It Hot' she plays ukulele-player Sugar Kane. She is seen sexily trotting along a train platform, ukulele in hand Marilyn biographies say it was the ukulele that attracted her to the part and she took lessons at the Beverley Hills hotel. Here she is playing it in 'Running Wild.'
#9 Hot on the heels of Elvis, Taylor Swift, Pierce Brosnan and Paul McCartney, the latest ukulele fan is Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder who released a whole album, simply called 'Ukulele Songs.'
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King was probably

Over The Knee Boots - Splurge & Save
It's no secret - I've expressed my undying affection for these Stuart Weitzman OTK beauties on the blog before. But while I was scrolling through instagram and blogs the last few days, inundated with photo after photo from the recent Victora's Secret Fashion Show (guilty pleasure!), I stumbled upon this article from WhoWhatWear titled "Own These Boots? You're One Step Closer to Becoming a VS Angel". Leading me to think...
A) Who knew that even at 8 months pregnant I'm practically a VS model? and B) This OTK trend is seriously picking up some steam, everyone is wearing these!
Stuart Weitzman is completely owning the market share in OTK right now, and why not? I wore my boots all day long walking around downtown Chicago, and it is shocking how comfortable they are. I looked at the health app on my phone at one point and saw I had already walked 7 miles in them, and I'm largely pregnant, people! Comfort is key, but in my opinion, so is the slim look these babies give. The best part of the OTK style is how sliming and elongating they are.
But hey, lets get real - the price here is STEEP, and while I've been lusting over these forever, maybe this isn't your investment piece of choice. So I searched and searched the web (ok, mostly just Nordstrom) and I found my favorite ways for you to either take the plunge with me, or some much more budget friendly ways to work the trend.
And I know what you're thinking - WINTER IS COMING, which means this post is around 2 months too late to really enjoy them. And yes, this has some truth to it, however off season shopping is ALWAYS the best way to score a great deal on quality items. Many of these are budget friendly because they are on sale now. Wear them for a few weeks (especially if they're suede!) or longer, then pack them away for a fabulous next fall!
1. Via Spiga 'Beline' OTK Boot $356.90 - Beautiful, available in 4 colors, and on sale now at an attractive mid-price point.
2. Dolce Vita 'Osanna' OTK Boot $199.90 - Also available in a dark grey suede, but with 106 5 star reviews, these might be your new boots - or should be!
3. Stuart Weitzman 'Highland'OTK Boot $798 - THE VS Angel preferred boot. At Nordstrom they are available in 4 colors, but the size and color selection is even better here on their official site. The color of my boots is Bordeaux.
4. Steve Madden 'Gorgeous' OTK Boot $149.95 - I have a love/hate relationship with how Steve Madden creates exact duplicates of designer shoes and pretends to be a real designer....but you can't beat it, these are a spot on match for the SW Highland.
5. Topshop 'Count' OTK Boot $190 - Side Zip and amazing color :)
6. Charles by Charles David 'Edie' OTK Boot $139 - I read a review on a different blog recently for these and they were the clear budget winner. VERY comfortable and chic. Love the color :)
7. Stuart Weitzman 'Lowland' OTK Boot $798 - I've said all I need to say about these. Available in 7 colors, a combined 118 5 star reviews, you will thank me later. More size options here.
8. Sam Edelman 'Remi' OTK Boot $189.95 - Nappa Leather look without the steep price!
9. Stuart Weitzman '50/50' OTK Boot $655 - Iconic, Stuart Weitzman's best selling shoe of all time! Hard to go wrong with the 50/50, they are truly timeless. 168 5 star reviews and available in 8 colors, ranging from midnight blue to black embossed croc.
10. Blondo 'Eden' OTK Waterproof Boot $284.95 - The reviews on these are very good, and WATERPROOF!? So that's amazing.
11. Corso Como 'Laura' OTK Boot $198.36 - Also available in a beautiful grey and black suede
12. Nine West 'Tiberia' OTK Boot $151.16 - Reviewed as being perfect for someone with wider calves, comfortable stretch panel in back.
SO which are your favorites? I'd love to hear in the comments! With no snow in the forcast I am enjoying every minute we have of this unusual fall weather and wearing my suede! Hope you're having a great week!!
As always, xoxo HAPPY SHOPPING!

Palm Coast, FL – Rep. Ron DeSantis (FL-06) today sent a letter, along with 12 of his colleagues, to President Donald Trump urging him to fulfill his promise of relocating the American embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to the capital of Jerusalem. Read the letter here. Under the Jerusalem Embassy Act, the President must either announce his decision to relocate the embassy or issue a six-month waiver by December 1, 2017.
"The President has been an unwavering advocate for our friends and allies in Israel," DeSantis said. "However, Israel remains the only nation in the world where an American embassy is not located in its chosen capital city. Rectifying this error and moving our embassy to Jerusalem will strengthen the positive relationship that President Trump has cultivated with Israel. President Trump has promised that it is a question of when, not if, he will chose to relocate the American embassy and it is my sincere hope that the President fulfills this promise in December."
DeSantis and 101 of his colleagues previously sent a letter to Trump asking him to immediately move the embassy upon assuming office. You can find a copy of the letter here. Additionally, DeSantis, as Chairman of the National Security Subcommittee, recently held a hearing to discuss the benefits and challenges of relocating the embassy. Watch his opening statement here.

Written by: Adam Lloyd
In my recent post, I outlined intangible characteristics of great leaders today. Although those were timeless attributes, it's time to look ahead and predict which characteristics will matter most in the future. Based on business, consumer and generational tendencies, a new set of must-have characteristics and experiences will define great leaders. Tomorrow's executives will encounter a new set of norms and nuances that will take precedent over and supplement some of the current requirements and challenges of today's CEO. These should not be shocking as business is already trending this way. But nonetheless, when considering future hiring, mentoring or aspirations of becoming a future leader, these traits will need to accompany the conventional resume. Time to predict the future.
Leaders of tomorrow have to be accountable today. We know that CEO's have already reached celebrity status and manage under the public eye. Future leaders, the younger generations of today, are already in the spotlight at such an earlier point thanks to the digital age of social media and tracking advancements. Today's habits can be traced and recorded, credibility is constantly tested. If you have dreams of one day being a large company CEO, than you better treat it like a presidential run and be conscious of your actions. In the future, it won't be enough to be aware of your actions when in the leadership seat, but also of your choices leading up to it. That posted picture of doing a keg stand in your college years… probably not a good idea. Future leaders need to understand the full consequences of all their actions.
With the continued access to seed funding, capital and start-up support, more and more talented individuals will run independent companies. The behemoths will have to compete. Start-up culture is very different than life in publicly traded multinationals. CEO's of the future will work alongside its employees in flat environments forming close bonds with the select few that join initially. This is happening today in the start-up world and is nothing new when you consider open-concept offices and less emphasis on titles and hierarchy. Not to be confused with the old boys club, a fraternal sense of belonging will be important to employees that join these companies and will require larger organizations to make shifts to compete. People like progressive movements and a sense of belonging over an employee ID number. Think of Facebook alumni status today. Future leaders that can climb down from the metaphorical tower will thrive.
Future CEO's and executives will be mobile, flexible and open-minded. This relates to ideology and physical whereabouts. They will not necessarily have a set home base. As most leaders are doing today, the leaders of the future will rely even more on portable support in terms of technology, data and resources. Being in two places at once will be status quo. As global infrastructure investments make strides in developing countries, they will become expansion markets for many companies and will require leadership presence. The increased ease of delivering goods and services to new markets and consumer groups will also result in the need to be in these locations, both physically and by collaboration technology. At the same time, products and services themselves are ever-changing, requiring nimble and progressive thinking to stay ahead of product development. We already see five year strategies being cut down to one year. Change is happening at faster rates. Future leaders will be on the go, both physically and mentally.
The next leaders will have well rounded life experiences. This is not just the ability to meet the diversity statistical make-up and quotas of the organization, but refers to the actual life diversity of the executive and ability to accept opposing views. Relating to people everywhere will be very important. Leaders in the future that have only lived, worked and are familiar with one region will have a tougher time transitioning to cultural etiquette, preferences and challenges globally. Spending time in different parts of the world will be valuable and as important as time in the classroom. Not everyone has the funds to see the world, therefore study abroad and international internships are great avenues. Real cultural diversity comes from differing viewpoints and life experiences. Executives that are traveled having lived, studied or worked around the globe will see the world much smaller. It's easier to apply a broader view to business strategy and be versatile when the global market is a smaller playing field.
Speed. Speed. Speed. Future leaders will have to cater to all audiences (stakeholders, employees, customers) at a much faster response rate to accommodate the future generation's instant gratification tendencies and immediate conveniences. Any information sharing or employee engagement that is anything less than immediate, will be deemed as prehistoric. Work and play will only continue to become more meshed and it will be as ever important to throw out the notion of "work hours" to supply the demand of real-time expectations. Increased micro vacations and business leisure trips will occur, but truly being unplugged will become a true luxury. Being tied to technology is common today, but the leaders of the future will have to be a little quicker to the draw. Caution, although quick to respond, there is a fine line to being careless and irrational. It should be noted that timely and thoughtful responses will be required.
There's a glimpse. If you're looking ahead; seek out, adopt and prepare for these tendencies and experiences to stand out amongst leaders in the future.

All documents for the nomination packet are required to be combined into a SINGLE pdf file with the following naming convention: Institution_ Department or Program (e.g. USG_History or USG_Student Success) Mail nomination portfolio pdf to Faculty Resources.
The award committee will look for persuasive evidence that nominated departments or programs promote, support, and recognize excellence in teaching and in service to students. The kinds of evidence sought are illustrated by the following examples:
- Individual and collective faculty efforts to improve teaching and student learning.
- Methods of assessment of student learning, achievements that go beyond student evaluations, and the use of assessment results to inform teaching practices, and curriculum development and revision.
- Active support to enable faculty to use innovative and effective forms of pedagogy and technology (e.g., critical thinking, collaborative learning, cooperative learning, problem-based learning, learning communities, etc.).
- Strong links between good teaching and various rewards (e.g., compensation, promotion, tenure, grants, leaves, travel, departmental or program-based awards, etc.).
- Department/unit policies that encourage collaborative faculty efforts, including team teaching, teaching discussion groups, common assessments, interdisciplinary courses, learning communities, mentoring, etc.
- An on-going and data-driven process for reviewing and reshaping curricula so that achieving academic excellence and serving the needs of all students remain as top priorities.
- Exemplary programs for advising, mentoring, recruiting, and retaining students; co-curricular work with students; out-of-class learning.
- Success of the department's or program's students (e.g., graduation, job placement, acceptance in graduate school, etc.).
- Clear articulation of how quality is defined, promoted, and assessed by the department or program.
Required Documentation
- A Table of Contents for the portfolio. NOTE: The TOC does not count toward the maximum of 20 pages.
- A nomination letter from the institution's chief academic officer (1-2 pages, 1" margins, minimum 12-point font).
- A narrative statement from the department or program that outlines its philosophy as a community of faculty, and its goals and strategies for making a difference in the academic success of students. This statement should address the criteria for the award (2-3 pages, 1" margins, minimum 12-point font).
- A one-page fact profile for the department or program.
- Data showing student success such as graduation rates, student retention, job placement, acceptance to other schools, etc.
- A concise, clear, and well-organized collection of evidence that details the department's or program's distinctive efforts to foster good teaching and therefore student learning. Suggestions for the kinds of evidence that might be included in this collection are found in the award criteria. These documents should be accompanied by a brief explanation of why they are included in the dossier, i.e., how they document the excellence of the department's teaching.
Note: All documents must be combined into a SINGLE pdf file and submitted by email. Portfolios that exceed 20 pages or do not meet formatting requirements will not be accepted

As I write this on March 9, Oksana has been dead for one week. She was 13 years old and for the last several months had been getting increasingly frail. Since Christmas, her ability to walk had decreased markedly. Last Friday, we made the decision dreaded by all dog lovers, and our vet put the old Saluki to sleep in my arms.
Over the years, I've spent a lot of time thinking deeply about the process of dying. This was even more so during the six weeks last summer that my father was dying and Oksana was getting weaker. I suspect that most of us (myself included) secretly hope that our dogs will die peacefully of old age in their sleep and relieve us of the responsibility of making the euthanasia decision. In our history with dogs, that has rarely happened. Watching our old friend fade or grow sicker, we would think about how to know when the moment came. A couple of times, we delayed longer than we should have in the hopes that the dog would have just one more good day. Often that delay meant the dog's condition deteriorated to a crisis of suffering of incapacitation, and we would have to call our vet late at night or on holidays – feeling doubly bad because we had not only lost our dog, but because our indecision had actually cause more suffering.
So it ultimately boiled down to the dog's quality of life. There are three things Wendy and I ask ourselves every day in those last stages. Is the dog in pain and if so, how much? Does the dog still eat and enjoy life? Can the dog still get around and eliminate on its own (or with some help)?
All three of these factors are shifting components in the equation. If anyone becomes more of a problem, then it can outweigh any positives from the other two. Oksana was declining in all three areas and we watched carefully for signs that hinted things were about to go bad. Every morning, it was, "Is today the day?" And if she was OK in the morning, she might be less so in the evening, and we would wonder, "Will it be tomorrow?"
In the end, I think your dog tells you when it is time – if you are watching for the signs. After 40 years of owning dogs, I now firmly believe that it is best to try and catch the moment on the decline before the crisis and end on as good a day as possible.
And when that time comes, we hug the dog and talk reassuringly, while the needle goes in. I know some people can't bear to be there in the end, but bringing that life into this world and clamping off her umbilical cord began many years of staunch loyalty and companionship. In return, we believe this is the last mercy we can give our old friends – to help their passing be a little easier and as free from pain as possible. As my good friend Warren Cook once said, "They would do it for you."

I was fortunate to go to an earthquake prep class by the Utah "Earthquake Lady". (although I was very disappointed in the low attendance!). I came home with a list of notes & things to do. Here's what I jotted down:
I went to an earthquake class given by the 'earthquake lady'. Here's some things I had noted down:
she was BIG on having whistles...she even gave everyone a handful of free whistles. keep in your car, by your bed, on your keychain. She said you can whistle for help a lot longer than yell, & it carries further.
Plan ahead & find the "safe spots" in each room, so you know where to run to when one starts. Inside solid walls are best. Get by a center wall & squat & cover your head. But if you have pictures on the wall that aren't secured, or large unsecured entertainment centers, things like that, you need to do something to fix those. Having those fall on your head isn't safe. Outside window walls are not safe. Put your back towards any glass. Or get in a door frame & brace yourself. Other safer places are bathrooms, closets, hallways, but always being aware of what's on the walls that will fall. Stairs are weak. Center of basement.
If outside, stay away from stuff. If in a store, head under your shopping cart. Warehouse stores with things stacked high are more dangerous.
If there's an earthquake while you're driving, you car will feel like you're driving it with a flat tire. Try to pull over, turn car off & stay in car. Avoid trees & wires. Keep some walking shoes in car, if you have to abandon car you don't want to be hiking in dress shoes or flip flops. Also keep umbrella, flashlight, whistle, neck cooler & shovel in car. Keep water in car, but wrap in mylar blanket if necessary to prevent expansion when it freezer.
She recommended copies of your emergency documents in 72 hour kits, on a flash drive for lightness. She keeps a food bucket by her door with a can opener than she can throw in her car if evacuating. Keep 72 hour it by bed in case you have to go out through a window (damage to stairs). Shoes by your bed, in case of broken glass or other things on the floor.
She really likes the rubber grip shelf liners you can get at the $ store for helping keep things on shelves. Big shelves & items secured to the wall. Bungies on open shelves to keep things from falling off (such as food storage shelves). Child safety latches on cupboards to keep them from falling open. She puts thin cardboard between all her canning jars (such as cereal boxes), & then puts them on bottom shelves. She said having the cardboard will help prevent them breaking as easily.
Water heater earthquake straps. Most of the time the reason you have to turn off the gas is because the water heater tips over & breaks the line. (these cost under $20 at Lowe's).
Furniture safety straps or L brakckets for shelves. Use on refrigerators & freezers too, floor braces at corners of washer dryer. Fire extinguishers. Safety hangers with clamp for heavy hanging photos.
Buy a solar oven! I've searched to find the most cost effective way of cooking for single moms (and everyone else!). These are a good price & work really well! Email me for a flyer. I sell the SOS Sport & Global Sun solar ovens. Prices include shipping to your door. https://sites.google.com/site/singlemompreparedness/solar-ovens. Click on photo below to go to info/order page.

We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. However, it is even more important for athletes to eat a healthy breakfast. We don't talk here about the breakfast where you just eat some cereal. A breakfast for an athlete looks a lot different. If you are an athlete and looking for information about becoming a better athlete, then you need to start looking at what you are eating for breakfast. Here is some vital information for athletes about their breakfast:
Nutrients what you need to consume
When it comes to breakfasts for athletes, the one thing that you need to know is the fact that you should ensure that you're getting the right nutrients in your breakfast. There are many different nutrients that you should consume if you are an athlete.
The first and most important thing that you should consume is carbs or carbohydrates. This is the whole grain breads, whole grain cereal and fruit. The second thing that you should consume is protein. This is food like eggs, butter and nuts. Dairy products like milk, cheese and yogurt also have protein. The last thing is fat. Yes, you should consume fat as well, but you need to make sure that you're consuming healthy fat. We are talking about fish oil and omega 3, 6 oils. This doesn't give you the green light to eat more bacon. This is unhealthy fat.
Breakfast before exercising
Many athletes will tell you that they don't eat breakfast, because they are working out early in the morning. But, they don't realize that they can't actually go to work out without eating anything.
If you are afraid that the breakfast might be too heavy before you work out, then you might want to consider making a healthy smoothie that will include the above nutrients in the smoothie. A banana, oats, honey, yogurt and nuts smoothie is light on your stomach, but are going to give you all the nutrients that you need to have for getting through the workout and the rest of the morning.
When should you eat breakfast?
If you are afraid of working out or going to an early match and getting stomach cramps, you need to know when to eat your breakfast to eliminate the chances of stomach cramps. Normally, athletes are eating a healthy meal between 30 and 90 minutes before a match or event. This is to make sure that they have enough fuel for their bodies, but to ensure that the risk of stomach cramps are less. Get full report from http://people.com/food/sweet-potato-toast-recipes-healthy-breakfast/
For an athlete, there is nothing more important than eating a healthy breakfast in the morning. It doesn't matter if you are training in the morning, or if you have an event early in the morning. The one thing that an athlete can't do is to skip on breakfast. Just remembers that you should not eat just any breakfast. Make sure that you are including carbs, protein and healthy fat in each and every breakfast meal.Pages:

Newcastle United are looking to claim a historic win at Anfield on Saturday – and climb out of the relegation zone.
Liverpool are celebrating last night's 4-0 win over Everton in a one-sided Merseyside derby.
But the victory has come at a cost for Jurgen Klopp.
United striker Papiss Cisse has been speaking ahead of the game.
And Cisse – who started Tuesday night's 1-1 draw against Manchester City – has talked glowingly about the impact Rafa Bentiez has had at St James's Park.
Meanwhile, Newcastle loanee Florian Thauvin loan return to Olympique Marseille has not exactly gone well.
But Thauvin – and Sunderland's Steven Fletcher – had something to celebrate last night.
Find out what it was here.

Linfield kept the pressure on top of the table Glentoran by claiming a narrow victory over an entertaining Ballymena side at the showgrounds.
The started quickly, with Linfield looking to utilise their greatest threat, the pace and trickery of Northern Ireland winger Kirsty McGuiness from the very beginning. This tactic paid off early in the game when after 5 minutes McGuiness ran down the wing and hit a driven cross across goal which went straight to Melissa Orr who smashed it straight at the keeper from 7 yards, who could only parry it out into the box again. The ball fell to another Linfield shirt, and the second shot was stopped on the line by Lynsey Murray, however the referee adjudged that an arm was used and pointed to the spot to give a penalty, which McGuiness dispatched past a diving Karen Millar to give her side a 1-0 lead.
Linfield continued to use this tactic for the next 15 minutes, however Ballymena's right back Naomi McMullan tracked McGuiness's every step nd made a number of crucial blocks to stp crosses coming in.
Slowly but surely the Ballymena midfield got their foot on the ball and started passing it around. Their first real chance came after 22 minutes when they were able to string together 15 passes and get a shot away, but it went harmlessly over the bar. They continued to apply pressure and had another good chance on 24 minutes, when Clare Timoney turned and hit a snap shot that went just wide of the post.
The pressure continued to build, and ballymena won a corner on 28 minutes, from which they forced Linfield to clear of the line. In the space of 10 seconds Linfield broke and the ball fell to captain Sarah Venney, who turned and hit a sweet 25 yard lob over a helpless Millar to make it 2-0.
Credit though to Ballymena, who didnt let their heads drop, and they replied soon after when forwards Rachel Fulton and Rebecca Boyce combined down the right, which enabled fulton to play a brilliant cross to the back post, where centre back Rebekah Reynolds, who had made a very attacking run, was able to head confidently past Nicole Adams to cut the deficit in half just before the break.
The second half began in the same manner as the first, with Venney and McGuiness doing a lot of the creative work for Linfield. It almost paid off on 48 min, the ball falling to Nicole Graham, who could only hit the side netting from 4 yards out at a tight angle.
Linfield had the majority of the ball in the second half, but were restricted to very few chances thanks to a very good defensive display from ballymena, especially from Reyonlds and McMullan, who has to be a contender for player of the match. However Linfield did manage to break down the resolute defence and score from a set piece after 80 minutes, with Melissa Orr heading in to the roof of the net at the near post following a corner to make it 3-1 with 10 minutes to play.
Again Ballymena responded well, and this time they replied instantly when Fulton produced a cool finish to put the ball across the keeper and into the far corner.
Linfield were able to hold on to their slender lead though to keep the gap at the top to only one point. Manager Ryan McConville was pleased with the performance and result, though admitted his team had to "win ugly" in their third fixture in 8 days.
Ballymena manager Trevor Boyce felt that his team "had the run of play for prolonged periods in the game" and that "the resut could have gone either way". He will be confident going into the next fixture against mid ulster next week.
